S0 my video card an ATI Radeon 6670 i think has screwed up.. Normally i use VGA and it works just fine but the last two times i played a game Heroes of might and magic 3 complete the game has screwed up and the first time it turned my screen red with grey lines through it and the second time it turned it green with grey lines through it. Had to restart both times to get out of there. However now it wont even recognize my monitor(as if its not detected). I hooked it up HDMI and that worked but it keeps going into hdmi power savor. Just recently it froze my computer on a grey screen.. Im sure if i restarted i could get hdmi to work briefly again.

Is this my video card? Just wondering before i spend $250 on a new one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ive added a link to a picture of what my video card looks like.

Well this card has worked awesome for probably 3+ years. But i still see its worth like $300. Is there any chance i might still have warranty. I know some ATI products have life time warranty.
 
I switched it back to VGA and it seems to be working properly. Maybe it was just the game that was causing this. My computer has also had physical memory dumps before when i play like left 4 dead 2.
